Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at La Jolla Cove
Diving Mecca! If you haven't dived La Jolla Cove, you aren't a California Diver! Nice park, nice entry, and great diving await you. The area is protected, so the marine life take pleasure in taunting you. Drop by a local dive shop and ask about the seasonal conditions. Swells and rip tides can ruin your day.
11 miles North of San Diego, take the La Jolla Parkway exit to the West. In 1.4 miles bear left on Torrey Pines Road. In 0.85 mile, turn right on Prospect Place. In 0.2 miles, bear left onto Prospect Street; in .35 miles turn right onto Jenner Street; then right onto Coast Blvd. You can't miss it.

I had to swim out about 300 yards (think 3 football fields) to get to the kelp beds. The visibility was about 10 ft. and the surge was pretty strong. We DID see 5 giant sea bass so I'd have to say, based on solely that, I'm glad we did the dive. La Jolla is beautiful, the weather was perfect, it wasn't crowded - it's just that the diving, for this particular weekend, was not good.
